Great location for walking Barcelona beach
Review Submitted: July 10, 2009

Hosts, Jordi and Anna, were gracious and accomodating with good directions for travellers not renting a car.
Apartment appears just as pictured. Size of apartment is cozy, but it is large enough for four people to sleep, if livingroom couch is let out.
Apartment was centrally located to Super Mercardo, beach, wharf, mall, and restaurants. Apartment was well stocked. Really appreciated having washer/dryer unit in apartment. Colorful mix of restaurants, markets right in neighborhood.
Came on a Barcelona holiday and watched city party all day until early morning. Loved the late sunset and meet some really entertaining people. Loved the ice cream/gelato shops on every other corner. Also, loved the Cafe de Lecha and Tortilla Patata (egg omelet with potato) for breakfast and the bakeries. Excellent Indian food restaurant a good 10 minute walk-away, a block from the beach.
Public transportation was excellent!
Easy walk to train station and wonderful city park/zoo. A little further walk to the shopping district of La Rambla and Gothic area. Recommend to take the city tour bus, excellent sites, plenty of museums and information.
Would have been nice to have an English speaking television channel, however took it as an opportunity to learn more Spanish and German.
